CUP IN A BALLOON"

ANTONIO INFANTES went up IN bal
loon at st. Louis Sunday night and fell
distance of 500 feet to the earth, where
he was picked up crushed, mangled,
dead. Perhaps it is not asserting too
much to say that ANTONIO INFANTEs
deserved the fate lie met. Ever since
the discovery of gas men have been 60
ing up in balloons and coming down to
be picked up in pieces, and there has
been profit to no one but the under
takers. The scientific world is no better
off to-day because balloons have taken
men heavenward and has dropped
many of them earthward to be mourned
over by their friends. The clouds were
not created by the hand of the OmnipO
tent to be navigated by men. The blue
dome that bends over us was not made
to be scratched and secured and SCARED
by the corded bag of a balloon.
Mans sphere is on earth, and
just so long as he fights against
the mandates of nature, just so
long he will meet defeat. A man
who goes up in balloon is not brave;
he is foolhardy. He may be splendidly
educated in the fine arts, and he may be
thoroughly versed in the mysteries of
science, but he lacks common sense. and
it is the lack of. this identical element
that gives the world its fools.
The great ambition of aerOnauts of
they. can control the movements of a
balloon at any distance above the sur
face of the earth, but so long as the
ether is full of contrary currents, and
the supporting power of balloon is
lighter than the substance upon which
it floats, the aerODautS will work on
the steering apparatus in vain. Sup
posing, however. the Ruler of things
universal should choose to send to earth
in His own mysterious way a genius
who could accomplish what the aeronauts
have worked for in vain, and ball Oons
could be propelled eastward through a
westward blowing current and could
be anchored at any point the ethereal
cruiser chose to stop, what particular
good would be gained? What profit
would be reaped by the world at large?
There are some dreamerS who are silly
enough to argue that some day the air
will be navigated by balloons as the
oceans are by ships-that the atmOs-
phere above us will indeed be high
way of commerce, and that this mode of
transportation Will become the popular
one, since it promises a more rapid
transit than can possibly be obtained
through the application of any project
i've force on the earth surface or Oh the
bosom of the oceans. This is pleas
ant occupation for these dreamers, and
it would be cruel to rob them of their
pretty fancy; for, without it,they would
droop and die; but so long as people
can travel from one locality to another
on terra firma or in substantial ships on
the broad seas, they are going to do it
in prefer encet to sailing through the air
in balloon with the chances in favor of
their dropping to the ground with dull,
sickening thud, to be picked up on the
installment plan by sensible friends
whose convictions are in favor of stay
ing on earth until removed by death.

as such he should be looked upon by the
people and the law. Possibly the an
archists found the tyranny of Europe
unbearable, and, with the magnaminity
characteristic of her people, America
opened her arms and offered the OPP
pressed a haven where they might
shake themselves free from the Calling
yoke of the tyrant. They came, and
the mean advantage they took of Amer
ica's hospitality is told in the groans and
shrieks of the dying and wounded po-
licemen of the Haymarket tragedy, that
still ring in the ears of every loyal citi-
zen. A man who says to another, ''Come
into my field and sow and reap and To-
gether we will share the YIELD" would
not expect that man to come in and, be-
cause he was obliged to perform half
the labor, SOW the ground with the seed
OF rank weeds that would spring up and
choke to death the good seed; and yet,
this is what the anarchists have done.
Because they were welcomed to cOun-
try where freedom rules, they virtually
say, 1--WE are objects of charity. We
desire pity. You must rot only protect
us, but support us. If you do not, we
will violate your laws, we will defy
your courts, we will SOW seeds of
dissension in your cities, we will
set up a government of our own,
for this is a free country" and
they promptly proceed to spit in the
face of the American people, who were
the first to offer them refuge. Because
these mems minds were embittered by
their oppression and suffering in their
own country, it is no reason that they
should be allowed to insult and trample
upon the sympathy and generosity Of
fered them by America. Because these
men turned their hands against their
own government, is no reason why their
spite and venom and bitterness should
be poured out on the heads and hearts
of the American people, who could have
gotten along very we'll without them.
Every anarchist under sentence of death
in the Chicago Jail has proven himself
human rattleSnake, that sinks his fangs
into the hand that would caress it.
There is no excuse for them. They
plotted against the laws of this govern
ment. Through their plots fo., -0Jffder
was committed, and they should be
punished. 1t is a question, however,
whether death on the gallows would be
punishment severe enough to fit the
crime

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

The loss of the Vernon on Lake Mich
igan last Saturday is suggestive of
a change that ought to be made
in the matter of passenger trans
pOrtation on the lakes and
rivers. The names of the passengers
who were lost on the Inflated steamer
are unknown, and perhaps some of them
will never be known. Their names
were all recorded in the passenger book
of the steamer. but that book was in
possession of the officers of the boat and
is now at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
1t is the common practice on steamers
to carry the passenger list on the boat.
Our navigation laws should require two
sets of books to be kept, one to be re-
tanned by the officers oil the boat and
the other to be left at the port from
whence the boat sails. By this means
if boat is lost with all on board, as was
the case with the Vernon, 1t will be
easy to ascertain the names of the lost,
as well as the exact amount of cargo
the vessel carried.

PHILADELPHIA's UPHEAvAL.

They are having funny municipal
canvass down in the staid old Quaker
city of brOtherly love. Philadelphia is
a Republican stronghold, and has al
ways been a great Sunday school town.
They have all idea down there that a
man isn't fit for an Office unless he is a
SUNDAY school teacher. The result is
that the politicians have worked them
selves into the Sunday schools, and on
public occasions can wear as sanctimo-
NOUS faces as ever the PuritanS did.
Everybody knows that there is just as
much corruption under the surface of
politics in Philadelphia as in any town
in the world, and perhaps more social
vice and immortality than in any two
cities. At the same time the domi-
nant party has always aimed to keep
up an outward appearance of respect
ability though it was Sepulcher of cor
ruptiOn within. In the present in
stance, however, it has been unmaSked
by its own nominee for sheriff. LEEDS,
the Republican candidate, was man
who went about the city ready to sing a
hymn at one club house or to tap keg
of beer at another. But it seems that
be was much fonder of the latter cere-
mony than the former. and his beer keg
tapping became so frequent that it gave
him notoriety. The Republican leaders
undertook to curb their candidate, but
without success. When expostulated
with he made the admission that ''if the
people tumble to my racket hell will be
to pay" but was confident in his
own mind that the beer cam
paign could be kept up with all the
privacy that had been done before. But
it hasn't. The people did finally tumble
to LEEDS racket, and now the Old
Harry is to pay, sure enough. The gen.
timely respectable element of the Re-
publican party has spewed LEEDS out
of its mouth Out of the fifteen daily
papers in the city thirteen are arrayed
In opposition to LEEDS. Ministers of
She gospel of Republican tendencies are
preaching sermons on the subject and
advising their congregations to vote
against LEEDS. Now that he is satisfied
that he has lost favor with the Sunday
school element Of his party, LEEDS has
fully unmasked, and stands before the
people of the Quaker City as the Repub-
lican representative of wide-open pol
lev, and proposes to fight it out on that

The Railroad Blameless.

Special to the Globe.
RED Wing, Oct. 31.-The cOrOner's
jury, summoned to hold an inquest over
Alice Elida Pfeiffer. who was run over
and killed by passenger train on the
Minneapolis IL st. Louis road, Friday
morning, convened to-day, and after
thorough investigation returned the
following verdict: 1--WE find that Alice
Elida Pfeiffer came to her death
by being run over by an engine on the
Cannon Valley division of the Minneap-
oils IL st. Louis railroad, but there was
no criminal neglect on the part of he
employees of said railroad operating said
engine" A communication was sent
to the city council asking that body to
compel the two railroads to place flag
men at the following crossings: The
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis road at the
Main street crossing, the Chicago, Mil
waukee IL ST. Paul railroad at the Broad
way and Bush street crossings.

DEFENDING THE ANARCHISTS.

Rev. J. villa BLAKE, a Chicago
preacher. gave from his pulpit last Sun
day some reasons why, in his estimation,
the anarchists should not hang. The
principal reason he gave was that they
were in part the product of hard social
conditions, and that the misery and re-
beIlion caused by centuries of European
tyranny is in their blood just as much
as the self control and sobriety of the
Puritan is in his blood.
There is more or less Truth in the
statements of Mr.. BLAKE. but his argu-
ment does not exonerate the anarchists
from the blame that has fallen on them
one iota. Without an exception every
anarchist in Chicago under the sentence
of death is man of brains, a man of more
than ordinary intelligence, a man in full
possession of all his faculties and a man
thoroughly responsible for his acts; and

Speaking of the withdrawal Of E. B. HAS
KEEL from the Boston Herald, the New York
World says: 1.-THE real creation Of the Bos-
ton Herald in the sense in which we under
stand editorial direction, has been largely
due to JOHN Fl. HOLMES, who is one Of the
ablest journalists in the country. If he shall
be freed from the trammels and handicaps
that have often hindered him, his position
ought to be improved and the prosperity OF
the Herald increased"
xx
How this world is given TO cheating. The
discovery that the life preserver Oh the Yer
non were filed with grass, in place of cork.
shows how little reliance is to be placed on
any sort of manufactured security. The
scoundrel who would make fraudulent life
preserver is worse than an anarchist.

If the Ice Carnival association is really go

managers to say that if the city intends to
put up the money for carnival purposes, the
city will be likely TO manage its own affairs.

RAILROAD WORLD.
The Manitoba Road.

The Manitoba road is to be pushed
rapidly through to the Pacific coast.
Engineers are now near Flat Head
Lake, Mont, running a preliminary
line from Great Falls, through the
Oreille valley and thence to the sound.
The Flat Head country comprises fine
agricultural lands and the Kootenai
region is rich in mineral wealth.
The two parties of Manitoba engi-
neers under Chief A. N. Wordsworth,
who have been making definite lOca-
lions between Brainerd and Leech lake,
have returned, and the engineers state
that locations have now been made the
whole way and the curves all run in,
so that the line is entirely ready for
clearing. The parties doing the survey
ing have been out all sunifhee,
